Mental Floss


I love this magazine. http://www.mentalfloss.com/magazine/ I love trivia....and I love the interesting tidbits that this magazine contains. You need to check it out. Their web site has a vocabulary word of the day....Here is today's word:
ablution (n.)

the washing of one’s body or part of it (as in a religious rite)

Pronunciation:ah-BLOO-shun
In a sentence:After he had performed his ablution, Jeremiah stood and waited in the parking lot for his car battery to magically recharge. It never happened, and he was robbed ’round about midnight.
In a different sentence: Kyle tried to convince his girlfriend that by showering together, they could more efficiently perform their daily ablutions. It wasn’t a bad argument.
